New Director Is Perfect Fit

A global outlook, plus a deep understanding of the principles of finance and accounting: these are core attributes of the Finance and Securities Analysis Center (FSAC). They also describe Jeffrey B. DeBoer, the center's newly appointed managing director, who joins the UO on July 1. DeBoer brings a wide range of career experience to his new position, thanks to more than a decade as CFO of Lithia Motors--a Fortune 700 auto retailer and one of Oregon's largest public companies after Nike. He also spent several years in Japan in both international commercial banking and investment management, working at Fidelity Investments, the world's largest fund management company, and Fuji Bank. "DeBoer's breadth of experience across industry sectors in Europe and Asia makes him the perfect choice to lead our world-class center," said Dean de Kluyver.
